Should your blog posts still be “knittable?”
Be able to update your post short/medium term
Same for readers except for private data
Need to re-knit posts for migration, tool updates?
Or use the R Markdown output after a point (.md), potentially with YAML/other tweaks.
When I migrated from Jekyll to Hugo I used the .md, not .Rmd.
If you want a tutorial to be evergreen you’ll need to ensure it works with the latest packages etc.
But are tutorials like package vignettes?
How to archive your computing environment?
It might be “easier” to archive the analysis elsewhere (tools for scientific articles) and link to that from the blog post.
For you, for readers.
Add session info to bottom of posts
Mention data origin (URL to data?)
Backup
Make note of anything that might be tricky (dev version of a package)
